Yes that’s essentially how it works. You’d need the hba card with the appropriate port and connector. There is a detailed post on this thread that talks about the connector types. You’d buy a card based on the connectivity you’d need. Also you’d...

You can physically plug in a SATA drive into a SAS connector, but not vice versa. I think it depends on the controller if the drive will work. I'm used to using LSI HBAs like the 9211-8i and they work with either SATA or SAS.

Here is a link to the share I have this stuff on if any of it helps you. MSL Firmware

7.2 is the latest I have. Haven't had access to newer in a while.

Yeah, it has some interesting quirks. It only took me 3 tries to get it set up correctly. I'm fully running on Harvester now. It's on to figuring out why I am only seeing about 5Gbps performance on the 10Gb links.

vcenter has a 60 day trial license. That should be sufficient for what you need to do.

Well, after much banging my head on the wall, this doesn't work for stand-alone esxi at this point. It requires the vCenter appliance as standalone doesn't support the functions that the import tool uses to export the VM. I've reverted to just...

In case anyone is wondering, I've started to get it figured out through some kubevirt stuff. Here's what I had to do: 1. Log into the harvester node as 'harvester'. 2. sudo -i to get root access. 3. Create a vsphere-clustersetup.yaml file. I...

For games/active programs? Sure. Storage? Nope. Just grabbed a pair of 12tb exos. Wife does photography and I collect an ever growing pile of stl files. Add in the movie/tv/music collection and...yeah. Maybe once 2.5" SSDs drop to like $100/4tb...

Aha, I guess I should be good to go then :) Found the 9.60fw on the drive share posted earlier in this thread. Thanks for the quick response, will post an update when I get time to try it (later this weekend hopefully).

Unfortunately I can't get the FW for these anymore. Don't have a contract and got laid off from HPE a while back. I keep stuff archived so it it disappears just ask for it. I have to move things around on google drive to make space for other...

Have you tried the below? https://docs.harvesterhci.io/v1.1/advanced/vmimport/

Yes, and I've got the addon installed, but the problem remains: Where are the CRD's to configure them?

Not a bad idea if most of my copying wasn't from a NUC to a Synology and then into Plex which is on the esxi box. I will eventually replace the Synology with something like OpenMediaVault on a 2nd virualized server. At that point I'll probably...

well what about just port to port on say 2 endpoints that you do most of your copying from? for me... my gaming rig, I DVR tv with hdhomeruns, rip through mcebuddy plus kids sports photography and vidoes..so i always have a lot of data to move...

I can't for the life of me parse what to do to make this work. I'm been an esxi admin for many years so that is very familiar to me, but I have not ever used Harvester or OpenShift style hypervisors (I have dabbled with ProxMox). Anyway, I'm...

That's pretty good entry point! Former employer went out of business so I got a bunch of 10Gb networking stuff and servers for free. I love having 10GbE around the house. I have 25Gb cards and SFP28's now but no 25Gb switch. Been looking at...

can never beat that... i started on the 10gb network journey with all in at $125 for cables, 10 nic and 6 port switch... now upgrading to newer technology... from connectx-1 and 2 with cx4 ports...

For what I do, I use the free version of Veeam and backup to LTO7 tape. For restore purposes, LTO will read at 750MB/s from source at 2.5:1 compression or 300MB/s uncompressed. It is not slow for that. If you are going for random access, then...

tape can do 50tb or 150 compressed... https://www.ibm.com/products/ts1170
